It’s definitely zoned for residential and I wouldn’t expect any weirdness like an oil tank given the history of the neighborhood.

Forgot about the title company, thanks! Yes, I will definitely hire a title company to make sure title is clear.

So I should hire a title company, appraiser (as we have no idea about price), and maybe a home inspector?


I would buy that lot in a heartbeat. Have told you how much they want to sell the home for?
